No. The answer is witchcraft.

He has very good numbers (his OBP is outstanding), but combine Coors and the Steroid Era (in which he had his best numbers…not accusing him), and he won’t get in unless he makes it to 3000 hits

Uh, all you Ellis Burks fans need to take a look at his rather pedestrian numbers away from Coors…

His control and K rates are excellent; Fiers is mos def for real. Not even sure why everyone is freaking out about one bad start. Outside of Gallardo he has been the Brewers best pitcher 2nd half and I would run him out there anytime without hesitation.

Tue, 14 Aug 2012 19:43:47 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=191045#comment-346597Coors Field was built because Colorado baseball fans had established themselves with decades of strong support for minor league teams like the Zephyrs and Bears. They even manage to fill the park for the terrible product the idiot Monforts are putting on the field this season.

Fiers should be fine. He had allowed something like seven ER in his previous nine starts. He was due for a tough outing.

Couple that with everything BUT Coors Field this season, and how could you even ASK if the guy is for real? Just because he isn’t 22 and doesn’t throw 98 doesn’t mean you need to jump off the bandwagon after one bad start. The guy is obviously for real. He just ran into a buzz saw at a bad location. Shit happens.

I hope he makes it, and I hate the Rockies (for taking Bichette in the expansion draft).

Tue, 14 Aug 2012 16:13:08 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=191045#comment-346484Why was Coors Field even constructed? Did the designers not realize (or probably not care), due to the altitude, that pitchers were going to get screwed on a daily basis there? The Trop is a worse place to play, but it has the excuse of not being originally built to be a baseball stadium.
